A document dated 1411 has been summarised as:<br />
‘Richard son and heir <strong>of</strong> John Ryvell, tenant in reversion <strong>of</strong> lands in Buckby to <strong>William</strong> Attulburgh <strong>of</strong> Coventry, merchant,<br />
tenant for life: Licence to grant leases’. 232<br />
However, what appears to be the same document is presented as follows in BHOL:<br />
‘A. 8446. Indenture being a licence by Richard son and heir <strong>of</strong> Joan Ryvell <strong>of</strong> Bukby, the reversioner, to <strong>William</strong> Attulburgh <strong>of</strong><br />
Coventre, merchant, the tenant for life <strong>of</strong> lands &c. in Bukby, co. Northampton, to grant leases for term <strong>of</strong> his, the said<br />
<strong>William</strong>'s, life, or at will, with provision contained in them that, in whatever year the said <strong>William</strong> should chance to die (ab hac<br />
ralle miserie transire), the said tenants might cut, &c. and carry their crops then in the ground to the grange, 'le Shepene' and 'le<br />
Heyhous' <strong>of</strong> the manor <strong>of</strong> Bukby, there to be ground &c., paying to him, the said John, or his heirs, the rents they were used to<br />
pay to the said <strong>William</strong>. Witnesses:— John Goot, mayor, Nicholas Dodenhale and Peter Weston, bailiffs <strong>of</strong> Coventry and others<br />
(named). Coventre, 4 February, 12 Henry IV. Seal, broken’. 233<br />
In 1412 Richard <strong>Revell</strong> is recorded as leasing property, as follows: 234<br />
‘Indenture <strong>of</strong> demise by Richard Ryvell <strong>of</strong> Geydon, and Margery his wife, to Robert <strong>Web</strong>be <strong>of</strong> Derset, and Katharine his wife,<br />
for their lives, from Lady Day, A.D. 1415, <strong>of</strong> a messuage in Chepyngderset, at 5s. rent. Monday after the Purification, 13 Henry<br />
IV’.<br />
In 1417 he is recorded as appointing attorneys, as follows: 235<br />
‘Letter <strong>of</strong> general attorney from Richard Ryvell <strong>of</strong> Geydon to <strong>William</strong> Attulburgh, the elder, <strong>of</strong> Coventre, and Thomas Ryvell, <strong>of</strong><br />
Edmuscote. Coventre, Wednesday after St. Peter and St. Paul the Apostles, 4 Henry V’.<br />
<strong>The</strong> identity <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>Revell</strong> is uncertain, but discussed more extensively below.<br />
In May 1423 Richard Ryvell received from <strong>William</strong> Attilburgh numerous documents that once belonged to Richard’s mother<br />
and which relate to her holding <strong>of</strong> the manor <strong>of</strong> Buckeby, 236 as follows:<br />
‘A. 10827. Indenture, being the memorandum <strong>of</strong> the delivery, 25 May, 10 Henry V, in the presence <strong>of</strong> John Esturton, mayor <strong>of</strong><br />
Coventre, Henry Breux, and Robert Melburn, bailiffs, Richard Southam, master <strong>of</strong> the gild <strong>of</strong> the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and St.<br />

charters, &c. he had by the delivery <strong>of</strong> Joan his late wife. Seal.’.<br />
In 1424 the Coventry Leet Book makes its first reference to Richard <strong>Revell</strong> resident Erle Strete, Coventry, for which he is taxed<br />
1s-0d. 237 This has increased to 1s-8d by 1430, 238 and 2s-0d by 1434. 239 He is listed as ‘gentleman’ when taxed in 1436. 240<br />
